Kurdish political prisoner Kamal Hassan Ramazan was transferred to Orumiyeh Central Prison on 12 December 2019, a source told the Kurdistan Human Rights Network (KHRN).

Ramazan had been interrogated about the events happening inside the prison. He was also questioned about five days during November at the Detention Center of Orumiyeh Intelligence Bureau, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Orumiyeh.

Ramazan has been transferred to the detention centres of various security agencies numerous times during the past several years.  

Moreover, Ramazan, who has been sentenced to execution, has been previously put under pressure for making false confessions and accepting the responsibility for new offences at the Detention Centers on the following occasions including; eight days during December 2016, 10 days during January 2017, seven days during November 2017, eight days during July 2018, one week during June 2019, one week during September 2019, five days during October 2019, six days during November 2019.

The 33-years-old and resident of Sare Kani in Kurdistan of Syria, was arrested by the Law Enforcement Forces in Orumiyeh on 28 August 2014 who was later transferred to Orumiyeh Central Prison after a four-months interrogation.

Ramazan was sentenced to 10 years in prison by the Revolutionary Court of Orumiyeh in July 2016 on the charge of “membership in the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).” However, this sentence was reduced to seven years in prison per the law of ‘Submission to the Verdict.”

This political prisoner has been transferred to the Security Detention Centers of Orumiyeh and interrogated in relation to the ‘murder of one of the IRGC members in the summer of 2011’ during the past several years. He was summoned by the Enforcement Office of Ourmiyeh Central Office in April 2017 and his execution verdict was officially served on him. This verdict had been issued in absentia for someone known as Mr Kamal Sour at Branch 3 of the Revolutionary Court in October 2011. However, it was mistakenly served on Kamal Hassan Ramazan due to similarity of names.
